Narrative:

While landing at lakeland, fl, during 'sun-north-fun' special procedures, I complied with lake parker arrival (hang up your microphone, don't call us, monitor 127.7, etc.). Was instructed to 'land long, land past the (triangle? Diamond?) in front of the tower.' complied to the letter, landing on the narrow parallel taxiway (temporary 9L) in a moderate crosswind in my cessna 195. Corrected a slight swerve due to the crosswind, and while still rolling at considerable speed, I was surprised to see controllers with orange paddles, etc., at the intersection ahead apparently steering traffic to the left. As I rolled through the intersection I was astounded to see a controller on my right (blind) side quite firmly and forcefully indicating that I turn left. With 3000 hours in the cessna 195, I now when I am going too fast to turn (a ground loop would have been inevitable), so I continued through the intersection. I proceeded to the end and cleared as expeditiously as possible. Slightly shaken, and knowing that I had averted a certain accident being directed by the controllers, I was somewhat chagrined to realize that I was now between 2 very active runways. No controllers being in sight in either direction, I looked down the other runway, noted that landing traffic was at that moment turning off at mid-field, and cleared across as expeditiously as possible. The only point in submitting this report is to note that hard-working, well intentioned controllers, in the interest of expediting traffic in a high- pressure situation, could contribute to an accident rather than avoiding one. I couldn't believe the guy wanted me to turn at the speed I was going, but he probably couldn't believe that I wouldn't follow his directions.

Title: SMA LNDG AT SPECIAL EVENT UNABLE TO TURN AS DIRECTED. ROLLS TO TXWY END, CROSSES ACTIVE RWY.

Narrative: WHILE LNDG AT LAKELAND, FL, DURING 'SUN-N-FUN' SPECIAL PROCS, I COMPLIED WITH LAKE PARKER ARR (HANG UP YOUR MIKE, DON'T CALL US, MONITOR 127.7, ETC.). WAS INSTRUCTED TO 'LAND LONG, LAND PAST THE (TRIANGLE? DIAMOND?) IN FRONT OF THE TWR.' COMPLIED TO THE LETTER, LNDG ON THE NARROW PARALLEL TXWY (TEMPORARY 9L) IN A MODERATE XWIND IN MY CESSNA 195. CORRECTED A SLIGHT SWERVE DUE TO THE XWIND, AND WHILE STILL ROLLING AT CONSIDERABLE SPD, I WAS SURPRISED TO SEE CTLRS WITH ORANGE PADDLES, ETC., AT THE INTXN AHEAD APPARENTLY STEERING TFC TO THE L. AS I ROLLED THROUGH THE INTXN I WAS ASTOUNDED TO SEE A CTLR ON MY R (BLIND) SIDE QUITE FIRMLY AND FORCEFULLY INDICATING THAT I TURN L. WITH 3000 HRS IN THE CESSNA 195, I NOW WHEN I AM GOING TOO FAST TO TURN (A GND LOOP WOULD HAVE BEEN INEVITABLE), SO I CONTINUED THROUGH THE INTXN. I PROCEEDED TO THE END AND CLRED AS EXPEDITIOUSLY AS POSSIBLE. SLIGHTLY SHAKEN, AND KNOWING THAT I HAD AVERTED A CERTAIN ACCIDENT BEING DIRECTED BY THE CTLRS, I WAS SOMEWHAT CHAGRINED TO REALIZE THAT I WAS NOW BTWN 2 VERY ACTIVE RWYS. NO CTLRS BEING IN SIGHT IN EITHER DIRECTION, I LOOKED DOWN THE OTHER RWY, NOTED THAT LNDG TFC WAS AT THAT MOMENT TURNING OFF AT MID-FIELD, AND CLRED ACROSS AS EXPEDITIOUSLY AS POSSIBLE. THE ONLY POINT IN SUBMITTING THIS RPT IS TO NOTE THAT HARD-WORKING, WELL INTENTIONED CTLRS, IN THE INTEREST OF EXPEDITING TFC IN A HIGH- PRESSURE SIT, COULD CONTRIBUTE TO AN ACCIDENT RATHER THAN AVOIDING ONE. I COULDN'T BELIEVE THE GUY WANTED ME TO TURN AT THE SPD I WAS GOING, BUT HE PROBABLY COULDN'T BELIEVE THAT I WOULDN'T FOLLOW HIS DIRECTIONS.
